Yes please if they are still available. I'll send you a message.

I would like this if it's still available please. I can pay by bank transfer. Thanks, Glyn.

Parkrun. Simple. Brilliant idea, it, amongst other things, motivated me to start running again after a gap of nearly ten years.

I used to love Lundhags but I've moved away from them now, no reason really just thinned out my boot mountain in favour of my Altberg Velthogs and Hanwag Alaskas. At one point I think I had four pairs of lundhags that were four different sizes and they all fitted me so, yes, the sizing does seem...

Canoeing without a lifejacket or buoyancy aid, ice climbing without a helmet? Really? Does he just try to promote worst practice whenever possible? And why does he always cam his face up?

Another vote for OR Crocodiles, without a doubt the best gaiters available. No zip, step in design, high quality, various sizes, not stupidly expensive, what's not to like? I am on my second pair in about 15 years of hard use including beating and ice climbing, the first pair are still...

Holm Oak. Quercus ilex

Penrith Survival had some of the range in stock the last time I was in which was about nine months ago. I would agree that you should try them on as the sizing is odd, I have three pairs in use at present, an 8, a 9 and a 10 and they all fit!

I have one of these which I don't use but its not in new condition, I suspect that the sheath is rusty around the rivets and it will need a sharpen up. If you don't get offered a better example then you can have it for £20 plus a couple of quid for postage. If you want it I will have to post it...

Don't get me started on the post office, our local one is guarded by two old battleaxes whose sole purpose in life seems to be to turn away as much business as possible and, if they really have to accept it, then make it as akward as possible.The funniest thing is they are joined on Saturdays by...

This is not correct now (may have been when you were a lad, I have no idea how old you are), the circumstances under which a landowner (and certain other people) can shoot a dog are very limited and most sensible people realise that to do so must be an absolute last resort. Sadly, there are many...

Water vole and stone curlew were the highlights of my visit to Minsmere today.

There is a lot of conflicting advice here, much of it well out of date. This flare is what is known as a TEP (Time Expired Pyrotecnic), whilst most are in good condition and will work fine and be safe to store and transport, some are not and can be extreemly hazzardous particularly those...

The only problem that I've ever had when travelling with a Berghaus Bergan is that airlines/airports are not keen on loose straps and buckles and will frequently give you a large, heavey duty plastic bag to put it in. I think this is purely from a practical point of view and that's fine by me as...

Balmoral are also advertising a seasonal post. www.countryside-jobs.co.uk (might be .com, not sure) Just checked, it is www.countryside-jobs.com
